Paris Story
Simpson has lived and worked in Paris for years, and has long maintained an apartment there. Parisian friends often tell him that he is a Paris story. He knows Paris better than those born and raised there. In this Paris story, Paris is an intimate player in a novel about a young man from West Texas who finds himself a sophisticated, urbane adult in Paris, a true Paris story.
Chad and his partner Imad live in the Fifth, close to the Pantheon, on Rue des Bernardins, a street steeped in its own Paris story. During the riots of the 1960’s many of its cobblestones were ripped up and thrown at the police. But the novel roams the various quartiers, streets and boulevards of Paris, from St. Germain to Luxembourg Gardens. In fact, if you know Paris– or want to know it better – this Paris story is practically a guidebook.
If you like a Paris Story, Simpson has written a Paris story you should love. Paris is a transformative city. It changes those who love it and, especially, those who spend time there. You’ll agree with the effect the city has on Roberta Martin, the protagonist’s cousin, who is sent to Paris to bring Chad back to West Texas. Her own discovery of Paris and love, parallels her cousin’s, but that of many of us.
